Let G be a vertex transitive graph. A study of the range of simple random walk on G and of its bridge is proposed. While it is expected that on a graph of polynomial growth the sizes of the range of the unrestricted random walk and of its…

Branching processes are used to model diverse social and physical scenarios, from extinction of family names to nuclear fission. However, for a better description of natural phenomena, such as viral epidemics in cellular tissues, animal…

The contact process on an infinite homogeneous tree is shown to exhibit at least two phase transitions as the infection parameter lambda is varied. For small values of lambda a single infection eventually dies out. For larger lambda the…

We consider the random walk in an \emph{i.i.d.} random environment on the infinite $d$-regular tree for $d \geq 3$. We consider the tree as a Cayley graph of free product of finitely many copies of $\Zbold$ and $\Zbold_2$ and define the…

The branching-ruin number of a tree, which describes its asymptotic growth and geometry, can be seen as a polynomial version of the branching number. This quantity was defined by Collevecchio, Kious and Sidoravicius (2018) in order to…

The Poisson boundary of a finite direct product of affine automorphism groups of homogeneous trees is considered. The Poisson boundary is shown to be a product of ends of trees with a hitting measure for spread-out, aperiodic measures of…

We study random walks on Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs in which, every time the random walk returns to the starting point, first an edge probability is independently sampled according to a priori measure $\mu$, and then an Erd\"os-R\'enyi…

In this paper we study the component structure of random graphs with independence between the edges. Under mild assumptions, we determine whether there is a giant component, and find its asymptotic size when it exists. We assume that the…

We investigate the number of topological ends of the trace of branching random walk (BRW) on a graph, giving a sufficient condition for the trace to have infinitely many ends. We then describe some interesting examples of non-symmetric BRWs…

Consider the random Cayley graph of a finite group $G$ with respect to $k$ generators chosen uniformly at random, with $1 \ll k \lesssim \log |G|$. The results of this article supplement those in the three main papers on random Cayley…

We consider a branching random walk (BRW) taking its values in the $\mathtt{b}$-ary rooted tree $\mathbb W_{ \mathtt{b}}$ (i.e. the set of finite words written in the alphabet $\{ 1, \ldots, \mathtt{b} \}$, with $\mathtt{b}\! \geq \! 2$).…

We give three different criteria for transience of a Branching Markov Chain. These conditions enable us to give a classification of Branching Random Walks in Random Environment (BRWRE) on Cayley Graphs in recurrence and transience. This…

Let $G$ be a Cayley graph of a nonamenable group with spectral radius $\rho < 1$. It is known that branching random walk on $G$ with offspring distribution $\mu$ is transient, i.e., visits the origin at most finitely often almost surely, if…
